Answer:

Amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle, a body will float in a fluid if the upthrust experienced by a body is equal to the to the weight of the body.

Also, the volume of seawater displaced equals the volume of freshwater in the cup.

From the above principle, since the freshwater and cup floats in the seawater, their combined weight equals the upthrust.

Therefore, mass of equal volume of displaced seawater = mass of freshwater + mass of cup

Mass of freshwater = density of freshwater * volume

density of freshwater = 1 g/mL; volume = 375 mL

mass of freshwater = 375 mL * 1 g/mL = 375 g

mass of seawater = 375 + 15 = 390 g

mass of salt in 375 mL seawater = mass of seawater - mass of freshwater

mass of salt = (390 - 375) g = 15 g

Since 15 g of salt are dissolved in 375 mL seawater, mass of salt in 1 L of seawater =(1000 mL/ 375) * 15g = 40 g

Therefore, amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

The molecular formula =C₆H₁₂O₆

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.00 g of a certain compound X

The molecular molar mass of 180. g/mol

CO₂=8.8 g

H₂O=3.6 g

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

mass C in CO₂ :

= 1.12/44 x 8.8

= 2.4 g

mass H in H₂O :

= 2.1/18 x 3.6

= 0.4 g

Mass O in compound :

= 6-(2.4+0.4)

= 3.2 g

Mol ratio C : H : O

= 2.4/12 : 0.4/1 : 3.2/16

= 0.2 : 0.4 : 0.2

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula : CH₂O

(CH₂O)n=180 g/mol

(12+2+16)n=180

(30)n=180

n=6

(CH₂O)₆=C₆H₁₂O₆

Question 1 (1 point)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

Thermal energy (heat) can be transferred between objects as long as there is a temperature difference between them. However, there needs to be some kind of medium transferring it. There are basically three ways in which the energy is transferred:

1. Conduction - transfer via the direct contact  

2. Convection - transfer via the circular movement of fluids or air caused by hotter layers moving upward and colder downwards.

3. Radiation - transfer via the waves from the invisible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ( ultra-violet, infra-red...)

Frequency is not a type of energy transfer, but a number of times something is occurring in one second. When we say that the frequency is 200Hz it means that something is happening at a rate of 200 times in a second. It's most often used in describing oscillations.

What is the parent isotope when Cl-33 is formed during a beta decay?
zzz [600]

Answer:

33/16 S

Explanation:

In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.

Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.

A 160g radioactive sample is left undisturbed for 12.5 hours. At the end of that period, only 5.0g remain. What is the half-life
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

it would be 26 because once you divide 160g by 5.0g and add 12.5 you would get 26

hope this helps
